Ledley King was outstanding in Saturday's goalless draw against Aston Villa but the Spurs captain struggles to play more than one game a week with his damaged knee.[LNB]As a result, Redknapp may recall Bassong, King's regular deputy, or gamble on giving Kaboul his first start since he arrived from Portsmouth for £5 million.[LNB]Sylvan Ebanks-Blake rescues Wolves against Birmingham City in Black Country derbyThe Frenchman has not played since January 26 but the fact that he will be cup-tied for the weekend's FA Cup fifth round trip to Bolton may sway Redknapp's decision.[LNB]But Redknapp revealed that his injured players were generally making good progress. Jonathan Woodgate is still in the United States receiving treatment on a troublesome groin problem, but Aaron Lennon and Roman Pavlyuchenko, while not fit to face Wolves, are closing in returns.[LNB]'It would be a risk to bring back Ledley,' said Redknapp. 'But Aaron is not too far away and Pav's back doing a bit of training, and could possibly be ready for the weekend. And Lennon could be available hopefully the weekend after next.'[LNB]Spurs have won just one of their last five Premier League games but Redknapp remains upbeat. He added: 'We're playing very well, I can't ask for more. We just need that bit of luck in front of goal. Otherwise, performances have been top class.'[LNB]
